Com ports in Xp professional.
Don Hill
the error being raised. I have XP professional and don't have that problem.
The only thing I can think of is if XP requires administrative privileges to
access a port. Are you logged on as administrator?
I am not sure if a log will show us anything, but it may give me an idea
where the error is happening. You can generate a dispatcher log by setting
the Logging property of the com port to tlOn and specifying an explicit path
and file name (C:\APRO.LOG) for the LogName property. Don't hit the Ctrl-F2
when you get the exception. Click the OK button and F9 in order to end
gracefully and allow the log to be generated.

reboot my machine I have to uninstall and reinstall my ports to be able to
use them. If not I also get the generic 'APRO Exception' error.
Although I have not been able to shed any light on what's happening I think
it's more likely to be a problem with windows, rather than APRO as the ports
are no good for anything, not just use via APRO.
Just a related thought.

I have come across something like this. When I try to send ATI to the modem
attached to COM1 I get the problem but if I create a dialup networking
account then the modem will work!

In that machine with Xp profesional.
Some day I added a serial printer in the Com1. and
Xp do something when reboot that holds the com port.
I only remove the serial printer and it愀 work well in Xp professional.
note: but in windows 98 I have the same printer and the por it愀 not hold.
When i try to do the log file. when it raise the error the log file is
empty, now
with the fix the log file contains something.

log? I would really like to know the response that we are getting from the
modem to see where the generic "APRO exception" is coming from. We should be
able to generate a more informative error message if we know where it is
happening and the reason. Are you all experiencing this only on the XP
operating system?

I don't know how to create a dispatcher log but the error is occurring in
TApdCustomComPort.InitPort
It would appear that there is a problem with the call to InitializePort
because the 'Res' variable is set to -1 which is not handled as an option,
so it just creates the standard unknown exception.
I am however still running 3.06, so you'll probably tell me this is handled
better in 4.05. But haven't had time to determine if happy to use it yet,
4.04 still had to many errors in other areas.
Matt.

Make sure you have the latest service pack. I think it is service pack 3 if
I remember right. I seem to remember someone saying their service pack
update fixed a similar problem. It does sound like a windows problem. I
guess you never want to reboot your machine, right<g>.

guess. Just automate the uninstall and reinstall of ports on start-up. Not
a very elegant solution but I haven't the time to sort it properly.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
